How a Bear Attack Changed How I See Life

Guest: Tyler Johnson | Inventor of Sound Bear-ier

I didn’t want this to happen to someone else. So I developed a device that protects both humans and wildlife.

Tyler Johnson

After surviving a violent grizzly bear attack, Tyler was forced to confront fear, preparation, and the reality of how quickly life can change. Instead of letting trauma define him, he turned it into a mission, creating Sound Bear-ier, a wildlife safety invention designed to prevent others from experiencing what he did.

In this episode, we dive into survival mindset, decision-making under pressure, and how real innovation is born from lived experience. This is a conversation about preparation, responsibility, and why comfort is often the greatest risk we face.
